Sabres Captain Craig Rivet is ready to make his return to game action Tuesday night against the Ottawa Senators. Rivet has missed the last 11 games with a shoulder injury.

Tim Connolly is also closing in on his return. Connolly has been sidelined with a rib injury since the middle of November. The Sabres expect him to get back in the line-up by the end of the weekend.

Buffalo is 2-and-0 to start 2009 following wins at Toronto and Boston.
